Care & Cleaning Instructions
IMPORTANT! To avoid water spots and calcification, and to ease cleaning stainless
steel parts, prepare the water bath using soft, decalcified water.
CAUTION: The heating elements and removable stainless steel sleeve get hot during and
after use. Unplug unit and allow the CRUX Sous Vide Professional Style Cooker to cool.
Remove unit from the stainless steel ring before emptying the water bath.
1. Always unplug and allow to cool completely before cleaning.
2. Wipe the handle with a soft, slightly damp cloth or sponge. Never use abrasive cleansers
or scouring pads, as they may damage the surfaces.
Descaling
1. After several uses, descaling may be required, particularly if hard water is used
in cooking. Assemble the CRUX Sous Vide Professional Style Cooker following the
instructions described in “Sous Vide Assembly” section of this instruction manual.
2. Add one (1) ounce citric acid descaling powder (food grade) to the water.
3. Set the TEMPERATURE to 158°F and TIME for 20 minutes. When descaling is complete,
press and hold the ON/OFF (
) button for 3 seconds to turn the unit OFF and unplug the
unit.
4. When cool, rinse the area under the handle in clean, cool water. Wipe dry with a
soft cloth.
Storing Instructions
1. Be sure all parts are clean and dry before storing. Never store the CRUX Sous Vide
Professional Style Cooker while it is hot or wet.
2. Store CRUX Sous Vide Professional Style Cooker in its box or in a clean, dry place.
3. Do not put any stress on cord where it enters unit, as this could cause cord to fray
